Day 24 - Tribal Council #11

Speak of the devil, Kim just popped in. Kim have you been around much, I know you had to miss yesterday. Particularly nervous because of this?

That was two days ago

Bobby Jon, has anyone surprised you in challenges? Do you think anyone has either hidden their challenge abilities in the past and now that it's individual have stepped their game up? Or conversely, do you think anyone is playing down their challenge abilities to seem less threatening?

Do either of those things make you more wary of those individuals.

And Jeff does it again...

I thought we had gotten past that stage Mia...

Here's an important question for you all to answer becuase it comes from the jury and they are always watching.

From this point in the game, is it more important to take the people who are your friends, but may be stronger, to the end, or people who you may not like, but would be easy to beat in the final vote?

The only thing I've been surprised about is how poorly I've done in the challenges Otherwise for the most part everybody is fairly even, as evidenced by nobody having won twice yet.

Can the jury only see our tribals, or can they see more?

Friends, but nobody else here seems to think so.

Tom, it's clearly no longer about tribal loyalty at this point, does that make the game more scary or does it give you more options?

I think it basically means that you have to rely more on the bonds you've made with individuals than one alliance as a tribe. So it's good if you feel confident in your social game and connections, but not as good if you've just been relying on having your tribe carry you through the game.

The Jury can see challenges, tree-mail and councils. That's it.

if that;s the case then we should end up with a deserving winner, should we not?

Friends, but nobody else here seems to think so.

Why does nobody seem to think that? You guys seem to think that there is some sort of core alliance, so wouldn't that go against what you just said?

Answer: I think the most important thing at this point is making sure that you can trust those you are working with. And I think when it comes to the jury, everyone is playing the game in their own way, so they can make their case. It's impossible to determine who the jury will vote for and why, so you just have to go with the best plan that is going to get you to the end IMO.

Whether you choose the right people to bring with you or you make a mistake in bringing someone better than you...if you have confidence in your own game, you take the chance and let the chips fall where they may.

Also, mad respect for Jolanda being the only juror to consistently be here.

You're right, maybe original friends sounds better?

Did Jeff have to pee?

I don't know, but I do!
